ACTIVITIES

IDL promotes the reflection and debate of topics crucial to the free exercise of democracy in Portugal, giving particular emphasis to the founding principles of Christian democracy. With its activity positioned somewhere between academic reflection and political action, IDL relies on the gratuitous collaboration of politicians, academics, entrepreneurs, and all other citizens committed to delving into social and political thought, and to improving the essence of public politics in Portugal.

Eugenio Anacoreta Correia, co-founder of IDL and Manuel Serrão former dirigent of the CDS Party Youth, were the special guests of the second Get-together of the IDL in Oporto, which recalled the early days of Democracy with Adelino Amaro da Costa.
The Tertulias of IDL intend to bring together members and friends of the IDL to meetings at the end of the day, addressing issues of current and historical file or culture. This is another initiative of the IDL organized in partnership with the CES-Centre for European Studies.
